    : Support for auto rotation is still on a dedicated Beta Branch labeled v1.4.7_G29. Further instructions as to how to switch to a beta branch here.

    GENERAL NOTES:

    If you have an online race tonight, you may stick to or revert to the previous v1.4.54 by selecting that branch from the Steam Beta tab. Further instructions as to how to do that here.

    If you have a bug to report please use the new bug report thread (make sure to check the opening post first).

    If you experience any issues running the game following the update, it´s worth running a Steam Integrity Check to make sure all files have been added / updated correctly.

    @ Reiza Studios : why the pit exit of Yahuarcocha is so bad ? The cars exit directly in the path of cars already on track coming at high speed and causing a lot of accidents.
    It'd would be more logic to use the original pit building, as it stands it's a mess and a way to ruin an exceptional track.
    What a waste.............

    I got a virus warning on XPACT or something alike being recognized in the AMS.exe for the update. Anyone else run into this problem? Also I see no multiplayer servers anymore.

    There should be a heads up to controller users that they may need to reconfigure their controller settings after this update, I had to reconfigure all the buttons on my Xbox 360 wired controller both in the beta and in the full game.

    Same here, you can get around it by either using the Steam Server Browser (after exiting the game), or connecting via IP address using the + in the in-game browser. Hope this becomes a priority fix Reiza, you've done a stellar job as usual otherwise!

    Not satisfied with performance. Playing on basic gfx preset, ca. 150fps and it's constantly dropping
    and twitching. Will be stable and then just a sudden drop by 10-20 fps and it drastically affects the performance, causing a very obvious slowdown. And then back to stable for a while and then again drops..

    Was already thinking i found a ''solution'' by going with the basic gfx preset - it was running quite smoothly before the last update...

    Maybe it's just Ibarra. Was playing mostly Ibarra, since v1.4.7 came out.

    Ibarra is a blast...running Lancer Cup right now. Thank you!
    I did have a couple of frame drop incidents, too, which is unusual for AMS.

    If you have a bookmarked server on steam that is not online the server list comes up empty. We'll get a fix pushed out asap. (Tomorrow hopefully)

    • Enabled pit menu refuelling onphysics level (so now refuelling isdetermined fully by SRS setting - allowed in all cars / tracks, follows series actual regulations in their respective SRS)...... can someone please explain this. Had trouble with the AI running out of fuel during races (super v8) using x2 fuel to get them to stop at least once during a 120km race. Does it mean that i can set the fuel tank size in the game set up menu now to stop cars from running out of fuel? Cheers

    I have no idea what is happening with the game now, after this update.
    As soon I start it, and jumps to page 2 of the content...it crashes to desktop. Same thing when I try to acess Multiplayer. It crashes.
    No message of error is given.
    And I have to CTRL ALT DEL Steam, because it says AMS is running.

    Already tried 2 integrity checks, and restart the PC. Same problem.

    That is a first to me. Never had any problems with AMS, with all updates.

    Any help? thanks.
